*Official Pick #7* Thread (1 Viewer)

Arrogant *******
I have the 7th pick in two 10 team redraft leagues (6 pts TD, 0.5 PPR)

Looking like I will have to make a decision on going with LT (if he is available) or picking a WR (Fitz). Not all that confident w/ LT this year, but at pick 7, he could still play to his draft slot.

The flip side is that I could go with a top wide out and grab someone like Westbrook in round 2....

I figure open up this draft slot and see what others are thinking in their leagues....

 
I had the 7th pick in a similar league to yours and took Fitzgerald over LT. I didn't feel comfortable with any of the RB's available. I ended up going WR-QB-WR-WR-RB-RB-RB. Its a risky strategy (depending on your league's drafting tendencies) but you should end up with one of the more talented teams.

what RB were you able to get? I am thinking of going WR -WR with my first two picks if I don't like any of the RB available.

My first eight rounds of the draft went like this:1.07 - Fitzgerald2.04 - Brady (6 points for passing TD)3.07 - Jennings4.04 - Colston5.07 - Bush6.04 - Johnson (KC)7.07 - McFadden8.04 - MorenoObviously its important to know the tendency of your league. I knew I'd be able to find some RB talent later on when the others were filling up on WR. I'm comfortable enough that two of Bush, Johnson, McFadden and Moreno will be viable starters.

I'd be happy with those picks if I chose the WR-WR starting strategy. Lots of RB value in rounds 5+ this year.
 
I have the number 7 spot in my money league (12 teams, no ppr, 1QB/2WR/2RB/1TE/1PK/1DT).

This is a tough spot in my opinion (right now at least...things will change by the time we get a few weeks into pre-season). I'm trying to decide if I should consider taking a top WR here (Moss/Fitz) in the first round. If the draft go RB in the first 6 picks, there just isn't a lot of RBs that I feel comfortable picking in the 1st round.

 
The one RB who I'm very high on that should be available at 1.07 is Steve Slaton. Taking him here might be a little high given his ADP but he likely won't be available at your spot in the 2nd.

 
As it stands right now and based on previous drafts in my league, I'm pretty sure the first 4 picks will be Peterson, MJD, Turner and Forte (in some order).

After that I'm guessing SJax and LT will be picked, but someone could surprise and pick Brady or "reach" for one of the top WRs.

If all the mentioned RBs are taken, I'll have to consider picking DeAngelo Williams, Slaton (as mentioned in the above post), or Chris Johnson for RB, or one of the top WRs or QBs. I would really like to land one of the top WRs (Moss, Fitz, or one of the Johnsons), and I don't think they would last until my pick in the second.

I am considering Chris Johnson, Slaton or the top WR at the 7 position. I have always been that guy that picks a RB in the first round and builds his team around strong RB's so it has been difficult making a decission to draft a WR at the 7 position. But with all the talk of RB talent in the 3-5 rounds this maybe the year to go WR. I am in a non-PPR 12 team league with all TD's 6pts including passing.
 
This is why at least for the first 2 rounds - I think the 10-12 slot is better than the 7th. Late in the first round, you probably can get someone like Slaton plus one of the top 3 or 4 WRs (or just take 2 of the top WRs) or even throw in Brees or Brady. For the 7th pick - you may have more of a question mark with your 2nd pick. Like at WR you're looking at Steve Smith or at RB you're looking at Westbrook or Portis.

I think I will go WR at the 7-slot, but have to decide which one. If all the RBs I really like are gone when I pick in the 2nd, I'll go for another WR - even if it's Steve Smith. Now that RB is a deeper position than it used to be - I don't think going WR/WR is risky. Think about it - you now have to fill in 2 RBs and 1 WR for starters. If you had gone RB/WR - you'd have 1 RB and 2 WRs to fill out as starters - same kind of risk. It's actually picking 2 RBs to start out that is risky - because then you are pretty much forced into taking WRs because you don't want to go too far in building depth before you have your starters at RB/WR. That 3rd good RB isn't the same trade bait they once were.

This should be one of our most interesting drafts ever. 12 team redraft, non PPR, shark league, same owners for 10+ years. ADP/MJD/Forte/Turner will go 1-4. After that, it will get real interesting. Guys like to go for names, so I think LT will go 5 or 6. But, it's a 6 point TD league, so QB's FLY off the board. Last year we had the Big 4 go in the first 14 picks. Brady or Brees could go as early as 5. I really don't think guys like Slaton or DWill will go that early. If I want those guys, I can have them at 7. My thought right now is to go WR, and will focus on Moss over Fitz. The issue is I don't want a Clinton Portis as my #1 RB, so I better be comfortable somebody better will be there). We are a 3WR start league, so with the dropoff in true #1 WR talent (last year you had guys like Marshall, Edwards, Plax, etc considered #1's - no more). I think there is a huge drop off with lots of ? after the top 10 or 12 WR's, so I need to make sure I get 1 stud. I do think there will be finds at RB this year. Guys like Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw, Knowshon Moreno, etc could turn out to be very solid #2 types when all is said and done, and you could get them in rounds 4 on. You will get no real WR talent in our league after round 5.

Lots of rambling means I have no freakin' idea what I'm going to do. I do think I'll take 1 RB/1WR with 1st two picks, then land best available between WR and QB (I don't want what I went through with Big Ben last year again, targeting an Aaron Rodgers type) in round 3, then fill out RB's with some of the names above.

The whole key is who I think will be available with my pick in the second.

Here's who I think will go.

ADP

MJD

Turner

Forte

LT

DWill

Chris Johnson

Steven Jackson

Brandon Jacobs

Steve Slaton

Westbrook

Fitz

Moss

Andre Johnson

Calvin Johnson

Brady

Brees

I'd be willing to bet anything those are the first 17 taken. Only possibility of a change is if someone flinches on Westbrook because of injury and they take another RB instead.

So, if that's the case, then I'm left with Gore/Portis/Marion Barber/Ronnie Brown/Pierre Thomas if I want to take a RB;

Steve Smith/Jennings/Wayne/White/Boldin if I want to take a WR;

or Peyton Manning/Rivers/Rodgers/Romo if I want to take a QB.

Knowing my league, it's a GUARANTEE that the top 4 WR's and the top 2 QB's will be gone in the first 17. My choice is to a) Take Moss, then come back with either one of the RB's or Manning

b) Take DWill, then one of the WR's (I'd feel safer with Jennings over the rest) or Manning

If you were in a 6 point TD league, and you projected those first 17 will be off the board leaving you with the above options, which way would you go and why?

I am going through the exact same dilemma right now and I think your top 17 are pretty accurate. In that scenario I would go with Moss in the 1st and Gore in the second. I would be thrilled with that start to the draft.
 
Had the 7th pick in my PPR league think it went pretty decently. Flex lineup so I plan on starting 3 wrs and 1 rb. Went the WR-RB route for anyone interested in how a draft looks that way.

1- AJ

2- Gore

3- Bowe

4- Ocho Cinco

5- McFadden

6- Cooley

7-Schaub

8- Julius Jones

9- Hasselbeck

10- Hixon

11- P. Harvin

12- Coffee

13- Who cares

14- Who cares

In a PPR, AJ is my favorite out of the big 4. The other WRs were all available.

 
just had 10 team - .5 PPR, td's 4 pts. - QB; 6 pts. - WR/RB/TE.

Start 1 QB, 2RB, 3WR's, Flex, TE, D, K

Here's my team from the 7th spot:

1 - Gore (could have gone any WR -- or Deangelo Williams -- Slaton was gone) -- everyone gave me grief on this pick.

2 - Calvin Johnson (big 3 were gone)

3 - P. Thomas (Ronnie Brown went 3.03, McFadden 3.05, Boldin 3.06)

4. D. Bowe (Ocho -4.01, TO - 4.02, Welker - 4.03) -- Welker went 1 before me, really wanted him.

5. E. Royal (Braylon Edwards - 5.02, A. Gonzalez - 5. 04)

6. D. Clark (Witten, Gates went earlier - big on Clark, but TE depth lasted a long while, no Qb/Wr/RB I really wanted here though)

7. W. Parker

8. R. Rice

9. C. Henry

10. M. Schaub

11. E. Bennet (lot of Chicago homers -- reach)

12. M. Bush

13. Favre (Schaub insurance -- Hassleback was gone, as was Palmer)

14. Josh Morgan

15. Green Bay Defense

16. Glen Coffee (Gore Insurance)

17. Arizona

18. L. Tynes

Nervous about my starting WR's. Bowe/Eddie Royal as WR's 2/3

I think I would be too. But playing devil's advocate, let's say that Gore is the 17th player taken, not Westbrook (in my opinion the ONLY chance my top 17 is wrong). That would leave the RB's Westbrook/Portis/Barber/Brown/Thomas. What do you do there? Are any of those worth drafting in that spot? Do I roll with Moss anyway and then take Gore or Manning. Problem is I just feel I'm reaching with that 2nd pick. Any of those guys will be the same as what's going on the 2.12/3.1 turn. No value - unless Gore drops or I go with QB route with Manning in a 6 point TD league, though I'm not in love with that idea either. Time to start thinking about trading picks - maybe dropping down in round 2 to get other picks in rounds 3/4.
 
Frank the Tank - great post - thanks much. I like the way you listed who went before and after and also your own weaknesses (i.e. few of us ever admit to 'reaches' yet we all do it!). Also helpful to know that you were able to implement the FBG DTBC strategy - well done.

 
Not sure if this will help anyone, but this is how my 10 team draft went out of the 7 spot. incredible values fell to me left and right, my draft did not go according to plan because of unexpected players falling.

1.7 DeAngelo - considered LT, Fitz and Moss here, but only start 2 WR's and no PPR

2.4 Brees - planning on going WR, Calvin was available,couldn't pass up Brees in the second

3.7 Brandon Jacobs - planning on best WR or Ronnie Brown/Pierre Thomas. Jacobs in the 3rd?? unbelievable.

4.4 Greg Jennings - For waiting until the 4th, I'll take Jennings as WR1

5.7 Jason Witten - Value

6.4 Marshawn Lynch - I like having a solid RB3, figured the next round WR's would be just as good

7.7 Anthony Gonzalez - I'm weak at WR2, but hopefully the Gonzo hype is for real

8.4 Jonathan Stewart - DWill insurance

9.7 DeSean Jackson - WR2 by committee

10.4 Donald Brown - RB depth

11.7 Matt Shaub - didn't need this strong of a QB2 with Brees, but I kept him off another team

12.4 San Diego D - wanted a strong D and they were starting to go

13.7 Domenik Hixon - depth

14.4 Lawrence Tynes - people were starting to take backup kickers, why I don't know. didn't want to end up with a scrub

15.7 Chris Henry - Sleeper

16.4 LeSean McCoy - apparently I play in a guppy league with people that don't read FBG's. We'll see how the Kool-aid tastes by mid season.

My only mistake that I can see is taking Witten in the 5th. He was value there, but I could have gotten a WR2 like Housh and gotten Greg Olsen later.

 
I think I would be too. But playing devil's advocate, let's say that Gore is the 17th player taken, not Westbrook (in my opinion the ONLY chance my top 17 is wrong). That would leave the RB's Westbrook/Portis/Barber/Brown/Thomas. What do you do there? Are any of those worth drafting in that spot? Do I roll with Moss anyway and then take Gore or Manning.

Time to start thinking about trading picks - maybe dropping down in round 2 to get other picks in rounds 3/4.
With your scoring rules I would grab Brees or Brady if they are there. In the scenario that you listed with Gore going 17th it's a very tough decision....so I'm sure that's exactly the position I will get in.A trade down would probably be great if that can be pulled off. I only have 90 seconds per pick so not much time to pull off a trade. Westbrook is probably the highest risk/reward pick. If healthy, he would deserve to be in the 1st round....he ended up as the 7th RB last season in my league (even after missing 2-3 games). I'll be checking for more training camp news on him up until my draft (Wed night, right before the season starts).It may be a slight reach (based on ADP), but Ronnie Brown may be the best pick at that position....tough call

Looks like Westbrook is going to play in their 3rd preseason game tomorrow. If he is playing in the games and practicing leading up to the regular season start I think he would be the player to pick in the second round assuming the first 17 are taken as you listed them.
 
Had my 12 team Non-PPR draft last night out of the 7th slot and this is how I did..

1. LT

2. Brandon Jacobs

3. Marques Colston

4. Chad OchoCinco

5. Kurt Warner

6. Anthony Gonzalez

7. Knowshon Moreno

8. Beenie Wells

9. Matt Schaub

10. Zach Miller

11. Josh Morgan

12. Owen Daniels

13. Green Bay Packers Defense

14. Mason Crosby

QB- Warner, Schaub

RB- LT, Jacobs, Moreno, Beenie Wells

WR- Colston, OchoCinco, Gonzalez, Morgan

TE- Miller, Daniels

K- Crosby

D- GB Packers

I have one roster slot open so thinking about handcuffing LT with Sproles or picking up another WR.

For the most part I like my team except for the lack of WR depth.

Great team, but if Brandon Jacobs isnt drafted until 18th overall, and Sproles not at all in a 14+ round draft, then this result is of little use to me. I would like to see the list of 17 picked ahead of Brandon Jacobs.
 
Drafted last night from 7 spot. 1qb/2rb/2wr/1flex/1te - all td's = 6pts.

1.07 - Deangelo (AP, MJD, Brady, Turner, Forte, Gore, Deangelo, Fitz, LT, Chris Johnson, Brees, Andre)

2.06 - Calvin Johnson (Peyton went at 2.05 really flustering the owner at 2.11 who took Romo - he's a new owner)

3.07 - Roddy White (Boldin/Welker/Wayne/Colston all went this round ahead of Roddy along with Rodgers/Rivers)

4.06 - Reggie Bush (Grant/Mcfadden/Ronnie Brown went this round before Reggie, Marshawn & LJ went in round 5 and 6 respectively)

5.07 - Braylon Edwards (I got some flak for this pick but with Calvin/Roddy rostered; figured worth a shot)

6.06 - Ray Rice

7.07 - Eddie Royal

8.06 - Matt Schaub

9.07 - Earnest Graham

10.06 - David Garrard

11.07 - Chester Taylor

12.06- Jerious Norwood

Nice draft. I'd be happy getting Grant in the 3rd. I'm not thinking of a Moss/P. Manning/Grant type start (6 points all TD's).
 
here is one of my 7 slot picks. (10 team, 0.5 PPR, 6 pts TD)

1. (7) LaDainian Tomlinson

2. (14) Chris Johnson

3. (27) Roddy White

4. (34) Pierre Thomas

5. (47) Darren McFadden

6. (54) Braylon Edwards

7. (67) DeSean Jackson

8. (74) Jay Cutler

9. (87) Ray Rice

10. (94) Devin Hester

11. (107) Zach Miller

12. (114) Josh Morgan

13. (127) San Diego

14. (134) Trent Edwards

15. (147) Chris Henry

16. (154) Nate Kaeding

 
Had my draft last night from the 7 slot. 12 team redraft, non PPR, all TD's 6 points, liberal scoring rules for defenses. QB's and defenses go higher in our league than most. I decided to roll the dice and shake things up instead of following runs. Took players I wanted from teams I wanted even if higher ADP players were on the board. Also did a trade right after the draft which changes the makeup significantly.

Moss

Peyton Manning

Rivers (traded him afterwards, he was the last QB in the tier, couldn't let him go)

Anthony Gonzalez (love him this year)

Steeler D (yes, first D taken, but 3 were taken in the next round, and top D's get 20+ points a week in our league)

Ahmad Bradshaw (one of the players I had to have even I took him a round or two early)

Donald Brown

Witten

LeSean McCoy

Mike Bell

Cadillac Williams

Patrick Crayton

David Akers

LeRon McClain

After the draft I traded Rivers and Donald Brown for Pierre Thomas and Derrick Ward.

So my roster is now

QB Peyton Manning

RB Pierre Thomas

RB Mike Bell

RB Ahmad Bradshaw

RB Derrick Ward

RB Cadillac Williams

RB LeSean McCoy

RB LeRon McClain (probably will cut/trade him now that I made the trade)

WR Randy Moss

WR Anthony. Gonzalez

WR/TE Jason Witten

WR Patrick Crayton

K David Akers

D/ST Pittsburgh Steelers

I'm happy with it. Manning, Moss and Steeler D are no brainer premier starters every week. I'll need to get a backup QB for insurance (several out there). RB's may be serviceable, and I was able to get the 2 RB's I like at NO (don't think Bush is a threat in the running game) and a decent part of the TB running game with Ward and Williams. Love Bradshaw, may play him as RB2 a lot, and if Westbrook goes down McCoy may have value. I'm also OK with starting Moss, Gonzalez and Witten every week, (may need to get more depth at WR now that RB's are shored up). Akers should be solid. Lots of gambles, but I think you need to gamble in the middle of the draft to win. I think Manning and Moss will have monster years. Steeler D is lights out. If Gonzalez and Witten hit their projections I'm thrilled. Just need some of the RB's to hit...

Not sure if this will help anyone, but this is how my 10 team draft went out of the 7 spot. incredible values fell to me left and right, my draft did not go according to plan because of unexpected players falling.1.7 DeAngelo - considered LT, Fitz and Moss here, but only start 2 WR's and no PPR2.4 Brees - planning on going WR, Calvin was available,couldn't pass up Brees in the second3.7 Brandon Jacobs - planning on best WR or Ronnie Brown/Pierre Thomas. Jacobs in the 3rd?? unbelievable.4.4 Greg Jennings - For waiting until the 4th, I'll take Jennings as WR15.7 Jason Witten - Value6.4 Marshawn Lynch - I like having a solid RB3, figured the next round WR's would be just as good 7.7 Anthony Gonzalez - I'm weak at WR2, but hopefully the Gonzo hype is for real8.4 Jonathan Stewart - DWill insurance9.7 DeSean Jackson - WR2 by committee10.4 Donald Brown - RB depth11.7 Matt Shaub - didn't need this strong of a QB2 with Brees, but I kept him off another team12.4 San Diego D - wanted a strong D and they were starting to go13.7 Domenik Hixon - depth14.4 Lawrence Tynes - people were starting to take backup kickers, why I don't know. didn't want to end up with a scrub15.7 Chris Henry - Sleeper16.4 LeSean McCoy - apparently I play in a guppy league with people that don't read FBG's. We'll see how the Kool-aid tastes by mid season.My only mistake that I can see is taking Witten in the 5th. He was value there, but I could have gotten a WR2 like Housh and gotten Greg Olsen later.
WOW!!! ^^^ I like the way your team looks, little weak at WR and I agree that you maybe blew it in round 5. Still a very strong team IMO.Good Job! :confused:

Good start to the draft....like the 1-2 picks. McFadden in the 3rd round is a little too early for me. I'm not sure what the raiders are going to be doing with their running game.Greg Olsen in the 12th round is a steal! I think he will have a very good chance of being in the top 5 TEs.
 
Just finished a 10teamer, non-PPR out of the 7 spot. Got some good value but still some so-so picks.

1. (7) DeAngelo Williams

2. (14) Frank Gore

3. (27) Clinton Portis (wanted a WR but top 5 were gone and this screamed value)

4. (34) Dwayne Bowe

5. (47) Aaron Rodgers

6. (54) T.J. Houshmandzadeh (easy money)

7. (67) Marshawn Lynch

8. (74) Chris Cooley

9. (87) Devin Hester

10. (94) Minnesota (not a fan of taking a D early but they were starting to go)

11. (107) Torry Holt (meh)

12. (114) Chris Henry

13. (127) Matt Hasselbeck (solid backup)

14. (134) Mason Crosby

15. (147) Rashard Mendenhall

Looking to move Portis or Gore somewhere for a WR and or an upgrade a TE.

Since I like reading these, I'll post my Draft results from the 7 spot this weekend.

12 Team, .5 ppr, 6 pts for passing TDs

1.7 - Andre Johnson (First WR off the board, I liked him due to # of catches, was tempted by LT)

2.6 - Brandon Jacobs (Portis went right before me, and could have taken Westbrook, but have been scared of him for a while now)

3.7 - McFadden (bit of a reach, but he was the last RB left that I felt comfortable putting into a line-up each week)

4.6 - Roy Williams (Bowe and Ocho went right before me, chose Williams over Housh (new team) and Braylon, looking back could have taken Gates here

5.7 - Marshawn Lynch - happy to get him here with people taking Addai, T. Jones, and the like this round

6.6 - Jay Cutler - the last QB I would have been happy with, not happy, was targeting Rivers but had to go to plan B

7.7 - Cedric Benson

8.6 - Chris Cooley (a steal in the 8th if you ask me)

9.7 - Torry Holt

10.6 - Fred Jackson (maybe a round early, but not much else out there)

11.7 - Bears D

12.6 - Jake DelHomme

13.7 - Chaz Schilens (he will be back and I am a Raiders fan :lmao: )

14.6 - Josh Brown

Starters

Cutler

B. Jacobs

DMC

Andre Johnson

Roy Williams

Cooley

This should be one of our most interesting drafts ever. 12 team redraft, non PPR, shark league, same owners for 10+ years. ADP/MJD/Forte/Turner will go 1-4. After that, it will get real interesting. Guys like to go for names, so I think LT will go 5 or 6. But, it's a 6 point TD league, so QB's FLY off the board. Last year we had the Big 4 go in the first 14 picks. Brady or Brees could go as early as 5. I really don't think guys like Slaton or DWill will go that early. If I want those guys, I can have them at 7. My thought right now is to go WR, and will focus on Moss over Fitz. The issue is I don't want a Clinton Portis as my #1 RB, so I better be comfortable somebody better will be there). We are a 3WR start league, so with the dropoff in true #1 WR talent (last year you had guys like Marshall, Edwards, Plax, etc considered #1's - no more). I think there is a huge drop off with lots of ? after the top 10 or 12 WR's, so I need to make sure I get 1 stud. I do think there will be finds at RB this year. Guys like Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw, Knowshon Moreno, etc could turn out to be very solid #2 types when all is said and done, and you could get them in rounds 4 on. You will get no real WR talent in our league after round 5. Lots of rambling means I have no freakin' idea what I'm going to do. I do think I'll take 1 RB/1WR with 1st two picks, then land best available between WR and QB (I don't want what I went through with Big Ben last year again, targeting an Aaron Rodgers type) in round 3, then fill out RB's with some of the names above.The whole key is who I think will be available with my pick in the second.Here's who I think will go.ADPMJDTurnerForteLTDWillChris JohnsonSteven JacksonBrandon JacobsSteve SlatonWestbrookFitzMossAndre JohnsonCalvin JohnsonBradyBreesI'd be willing to bet anything those are the first 17 taken. Only possibility of a change is if someone flinches on Westbrook because of injury and they take another RB instead.So, if that's the case, then I'm left with Gore/Portis/Marion Barber/Ronnie Brown/Pierre Thomas if I want to take a RB;Steve Smith/Jennings/Wayne/White/Boldin if I want to take a WR;or Peyton Manning/Rivers/Rodgers/Romo if I want to take a QB.Knowing my league, it's a GUARANTEE that the top 4 WR's and the top 2 QB's will be gone in the first 17. My choice is to a) Take Moss, then come back with either one of the RB's or Manningb) Take DWill, then one of the WR's (I'd feel safer with Jennings over the rest) or ManningIf you were in a 6 point TD league, and you projected those first 17 will be off the board leaving you with the above options, which way would you go and why?
Had a 14-team draft (re-draft) yesterday and drafted from the 7 spot.I typically try to wait on QBs, but was faced with thw situation of taking a top QB in thw second round.My first 5 picks were:DWillP. ManningPortisLJRoddy WhitePortis and LJ slipped, IMO. So did White. I'm happy with these picks.

Wow you got some real good value in that draft. Suprised you took Portis in the 3rd, but I think you did well with your wr's later on, nice to get Deangelo at 7, I won't have that luxury. I'm planning on taking Moss then Brady, and punting rb's until later, hoping to find value like you did. If anyone wants to post their results from the 7 spot, it would be appreciated.

We must start at least 1 RB and 1 WR/TE, any combination totaling 4. TEs have favorable scoring, something we did years ago to provide more options at receiver since its a 14 team league. For example, Tony Gonzalez finished as the #4 overall scoring WR/TE ahead of guys like Calvin Johnson, Steve Smith and Reggie Wayne. Of course, my 6th round pick was Tony G. followed up by Greg Olsen in the 9th! (a steal in my books). The league is full of experienced guys and I was shocked to see Manning, Portis, LJ, White and Gonzalez available when they were.
